[The proud, self-serving Fifth Princess × the gloomy, sharp-tongued son cast out by his family. Two strong leads, but the male lead is mostly a supporting accessory.]
On the day Song Shihui ascended the throne, Princess Lingyue, far away at Guoan Temple, found three feet of white silk in her dressing case.
It was the late emperor's final decree: when her brother took the throne, she was to hang herself and die for the country.
Her delicate fingers brushed the ice-silk. Hanzhang happily accepted this "gift."
But she turned around and hung the white silk from Chengtian Gate. "This silk belongs around the neck of a treacherous minister, not binding the soul of a daughter of the Song family."
The late emperor feared she'd reach for the throne, and her imperial brother avoided her like the plague.
So what?
For the sake of that one beloved soul, she would make the entire dynasty grovel at her feet.

[In truth, the heroine is the most treacherous villain in the entire story.]
Content warnings: Neither lead is a good person. This is a story about a powerful heroine focused on her career, with an ensemble cast and palace intrigue and political maneuvering. The male lead only gets a major role later on, so don't read if that's not for you.
The author's plot line is still a bit immature, but the emotional line is okay. I have a feeling this book will get better and better, author, come on!!!
It's okay, it's okay 🤔
This book is okay. Why do I read so little of it?
I think it's okay now, but I don't know what the author will write later.
